diordaves:Please let gard people with right information. Every building as different history. If you see me write anything here is from my personal experience NOT them say I did it. I just finished one of his similar case I build the house in 94 with every government approved . Chose to renovate 2 years ago just like everyone else, government official show up asking for renovating permit, don't have one I thought its was a joke fast forward continue work. they can back few weeks later with stop work Order. As stubborn man I call my connection at the top in Alausa. He told me I should know better their are process I have to follow before I start now. He sent me back to the local branch, to continue the process. When they sent me the requirements I look at it as waste of resources on the old house I chose to bring down the house, that when the drama start all over, all those requirements which I follow through. I couldn't believe this people have so much time to come for inspection, from set back, checking if what we have on drawing is what we are building as we progress, on the project even till the roofing stange. So please if they don't come for you, don't think the dont work . You may just be lucky. If they caught you at the middle, trust me you will pay all those fees . When they finished, they will send you all documents. You will appreciate the government for all your payments. They will send you the soft and hard copies of all your certificates of payment, building plan, building approval documents, building number for tax porpoises. Everything is well documented. If you do it the right way. Not like those days that you don’t know what you’re playing for or no record of your payment. Everything is digital on CD now. Please be guarded right 2 Likes |

kopell: Baba you will not die untimely death, If we tell them they will say those Engr has come again with dubious way of ing where they will see money to chop. What you said is 100% on point unless if you build in hidden area and they didn’t notice on time, once they notice it they will still serve you letter.. Even demolition has permit, let alone full renovation work. 1 Like |

A family member is doing such renovations after purchasing and I think he finally paid omonile 1.5m with agreement to balance 1m later. He also used the opportunity to get omonile family receipt and deed of assignment ( I always advice them to do this) they initially demanded 4m. Apart from that him no owe anybody anything. But all and sundry might come local government, town planning, environmental, labsca, and it is up to him to choose what to. My days of gangster are behind me but I used to threaten to take their photo because my surveyor and lawyer told me many moons ago who and who fit come and how to approach the issue and who be pure scam. I have on my good days usually Friday I have given 2k to some of them whilst knowing na just scam. Why argue and long talk over something 2k can solve. Some will say you need permit and even issue you with fake invoices of 100k if you put sand for road but what they needed to do is issue notices giving you 7 days to remove it. Always ask the professionals you employ the potential issues and how to navigate them so that you are at least prepared. One needs to be strong. Often times saying I will come to your(Often fake address on the paperwork) to settle any issues gets the local government fake ones off your back. 4m Ayohbk: 1 Like |

rotecch77:I don’t understand why some people that never built come to advise others about they say they say or my friend just did one . Many of these processes are not new, it’s mostly government fault by not enforcing the rules or some of their staffs encourage people to cut corners. Everything is on paper when you do it right, for example in assignment you will see how much the charge for your fencing and many other items on it. Their charges are base in the local government where the project is. I paid different amounts for Eti Ose, Alimosho, and Ojo. I hope the young man that is asking for help should be careful. like one of my friend that likes to cut corners to save money. Every time I advise him, he will say shabi nah this Lagos don’t worry I will find my way. Until last year when he got caught on his Lagos Island 4 story project, this is so crazy the build in the night due to congestion of the area. Guess what they let him get to the fourth floor, they came and broke 32 pillars out of 40 making the building in unrepeatable. They then send him demolished bill. That how they dealt with him, he then start all over with double the amount he should have pay at the beginning. 1 Like |

Your friend took unnecessary risk on unsafe and unstable land. 4 storey for lagos island without guidance from the local labsca office is asking for trouble or asking to kill people. kopell: |

gabbytabby:He as competent people working with him, he just likes going through back doors to get things done faster . He believes those fee are too much to pay government. He is being getting away with it, not like his buildings are not safe. He owns couple of those half plots houses making millions on them per year, especially those shops on the first and second floors of his buildings. |

kopell: If I understand, you tore down a 1994 building because you couldn't meet the requirements for Renovation Permit? Really ? That is extreme to me a by stander. Unless you are remodeling, I struggle to see how Renovation Permit will make you pull down a 1994 building. Is there renovation permit in Lagos state? Yes, there is. For a renovation permit ALL you need is your building approval (you should have this as you personally built the property), your schedule of work earmarked for renovation prepared by your engineer (qualified o), NDT and 25 percent of the applicable processing fee at the time. That all. If you were sent a list as long as your arm and as complicated as mount Everest, so tay you knock down your house, Honourable, dem do you the thing. Na the same thing dem want to do the poster so. What concerns building approval process list with renovation permit? The poster was sent a building approval list of 4.3 million. This is incorrect. This is extortion. By the way, I and the people I know have never been bothered for renovation jobs after settling Bale and Omonile. After settlement, I just commence renovation to the end. No trouble. But is this saying there is no renovation permit? No. You know how many permits there are. Even permit to sleep with one's wife dey. 1 Like |

diordaves:Hahahha permit to sleep with people wife dey lol. Bros if you are lucky to get away with things good luck to you. I don’t say I couldn’t meet the requirements. I said it completely waste of my resources in house I built 30 years plus ago. When I can afford to put up better building in the place. I don’t talk them say, the Engineer that when through hell with me and them is here reading everything. Guess what. I end up using on of their Engineer as Consultant to navigate the system. My engineers knew me will. I don’t take rubbish from those government officials I mean their Oga’s at the top. As I speak the Engineer is busy building multiple buildings in 4 different locations around Lagos and other states. So please I don’t come here to spread fallacy. I have been is this building business for close to 40 years. I’m about to start something similar soon in Lagos island. Let learn from one another, good evening or afternoon or even good night . It’s most be one of them sha. 2 Likes |
